its interesting to see supporter of the previous govt who silenced most of the journalists and activists from twitter with heavy handed law enforcement tactics, now claiming to be a freedom of speech proponent

For those who do not know, PTI owned and operated largest bots and trolls network who habitually abused people who ever would disagree with them. Consider them TRUMP supporters like mentality people in Pakistan

I don't think thats a fair characterization of PTI supporters. PML-N and PPP have literally created cults of personality around their families, in many ways their followers can be described as cult-like also.

question is who misused the twitter the most, its not who is the cult or not.

That's the first thought that occurred to me as well, especially after reading the line "...some of the top journalists and activists...". Well, they've been under more sophisticated harrassment and abuse for close to 4 years now, but all this time... Crickets.

It is clearly wrong that people should be subjected to any abuse/torture/coordinated campaigns regardless of party associations. But forgive me for not being completely empathetic when anyone claims to have become a victim of these campaigns starting around the time of "the coup a few months ago".
